BMW 3 Series Convertible
The 3 Series Convertible drives well, looks good and is superbly built. The superb petrol engine performs strongly with good economy and low emissions. Retained values are strong.
The folding metal roof has to go somewhere when the top's down, and this means rear-seat and boot space are compromised compared with the coupe. The suspension is a little softer than the coupe's, which marginally changes the ride-and-handling balance, but not in any seriously detrimental way.
With the roof in place you can see why BMW wanted a metal-roof coupe-cabriolet in place of a soft-top: the latest 3 Series convertible is as hushed and weatherproof as a saloon. Even with the car fully open (roof and windows down), it's acceptably draught- and din-free for anyone in the front seats, and road and engine noise never become intrusive.
